'Hie proprie tors feel liattered from the fact that many of the most prominent medical gentleman in the Union have bestowed encoi.iums upon the Bitters, the virtues of which thiy have frequently tested and acknowledged.

As an example of the character and destination of these articles, we noticed on Saturday a car loaded with Corn shipped from Cincinnati), Ohio, and directed to Eufaula, Al abama. Employees ou the W. & A. R- Road. Mr. D. B. Chandler one of lhe freight Con ductors on the W. & A. R. Road has been in the employ of tin- road for more than two years and has not in the whole time lost a sin gle day from sickness or any other cause.— Those who have travelled on t- e passenger or freight trains of this road musr have noticed the fact that its employees are attentive, effi cient and steady men. None others can re main in the employment of the State. In the language which one of them used to u<, Dr. Lewis makes them earn every dollar they re ceive. The Vulnerable North- In case Lincoln and his administration chose war with the South, one of tho first steps in Southern enterprise, will be the issn ing by publishing houses of school books and other works that have been copy-righted by Northern men. From this souice alone an im mense profit has been annually drawn fiom the Southern people. Another measure would be the establishment of works for the manu facture <>f Northern patented articles. A sew ing machine for which the Northern patentee receives fifty dollars can be made for ten. The Southern maker can sell for twenty five dollars and realize an enormous profit. So with Colt’s pistols or Shaq ’s rifles, or Agricultural imple ments, and a hundred other things. And this would be almost as nothing compared with the cutting up of Northern commerce by privateers. The Southern people can stay at home and destroy the North. They now stand on the defensive. They await an invasion. But when it commences, they will strike the North in every vulnerable point. Is it War or *’cacc ? The indications now are that the Lincoln Ad ministration will attempt coercion of the sece ding States. Mr. Lincoln, on his way to Wash ington City, has so indicated his purpose— not in a manly and outspoken declaration, but by insinuations and hints of his policy and opinions. The South has preferred peace. — But if the North chooses war, the Southern States will meet it as becomes a free people.— Calamitous as war is, under any circumstances, to the North it will, in this case, be utter ruin —ruin and bankruptcy to their government— ruin to their commerce and manufactures But if they prefer it to peaceful relations with the Confederate State*, let them have it. Public Meeting in Milton. At a large meeting of the citizens of Milton county, held on the sth inst., the following res olution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That, as true Georgians, we feel bound, by every principle of honor and patriot ism, to stand by and sustain our State in the course which she, in solemn Convention, has taken ; and we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honors, to follow her flag thro’ every whether for weal or for woe. i F’rom the Augusta Republic. CONSTITUTION OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. We intended, as soon as we could make room for it, to prepare a statement of the points of variance between the Constitution of the Uni ted States and that for the Provisional Govern ment of the Confederate States of America.— In the Con-titutionalist of yesterday w'e find such a statement, which relieves us of the la bor of its preparation. W<- would add only the pr-visions contained in the 3rd art cle of the new Constitution, Ist sec. and 4th clause.— That con’er j upoi. Congress the power to legis late for the tiansfer of causes pem’ing in lhe Court of the United Stat s, to the courts of the Confederacy, and for the execution of the o - ders deciees and judgments, heretofore ten dered by the said Coni Is of the United and also to pass all laws requisite for the pro tection es the parties in inteiest, their heirs, personal representatives, or assigne. s. From the Constitutionalist, \Ath. inst. For the convenience of the reader, the fol lowing changes and additions are presented, to show at a glanc- the difference between the Constitution of the United Statesand tho Pro visions Constitution of the Confederate States. Taking the former Constit tion as the basis, the following arc the alterations and amend ments : ALTERATIONS. Ist. The Provisional Constitution differs front the other in this : That the Legislative powers of the Provisional Government are vested in the C ngress now assembled, and this body ex ercises all th- functions that are exercised by either or boHi branches of the United States Government. 2d. The Provisional President holds his of fice for one year, unle-s sooner superseded by the establishment of a permanent govern ment. 3d. Each State is erected into a distinct Ju dicial District—the Judge having all the pow ers heretofore vested in the District and Cir cuit Courts ; and the several District Judges together compose the Supreme Bench—a ma jority of them constituting a quorum. 4th. Wherever the word “ Union” occurs in the United States Constitution, the word “Con federacy” is substituted. ADDITIONS. Ist. The President may veto any separate appropriation, without vetoing the whole bill in which it is contained. 2d. The African slave trale is prohibited. 3d. Congress is empowered to prohibit the introduction of slaves .rom any State not a ! member of this Confederacy 4th. All appropriations must be upon the demand of the President, or heads of depart- I ments. OMISSIONS. Ist. Th -re is no prohibition on nv-mbers of Congress holding other offices of honor ai d emolument under the Provisional Government 2d. There is no provision for a neutral spot for the location of a seat of G vernment, or for sites for forts, arsenals, and dock yaids. Con sequem ly, there is no reference made to the Territorial powers of the Provisional Govern ment. 3d. The section in the old Constitution in reference to capitation a> d other direct tax, is omitted, also, the section providing that no tax or July shall be laid on any exports. 4. The prohibition on States keeping ’root s or ships of wer, in time of peace, is omitted. 5. The Con titution, being provisional mere ly, no provision is made for its ratification. AMENDMENTS Ist. The fugitive slave clause of the ol Constitution is so amended .- s to contain the word “slave,” and to provide for full compen sation in cases of abduction or for.- ble rescue on the part of the State in which such abductioi may take place. 2d. Co. gross, by a vote of tw-> thirds, may at an- time, alter or amend the Con stitution. TEMPORARY PROVISIONS. Ist. The Provisional Government is requir cd to take’mtnediate steps for lhe settlement of all the matt, is bo’ween the States forming it, and their other late confederabs of the United States, in relation to the public proper ty and the pul li debt. 2d. Montgomery is made the temporary seat of Government. 3d. Thi Constitution is to continue one year, unless altered by a two-thirds vote, or superseded bv a perma- ent Government. Banditti in Tennessee.—The Memphis Ar. gas says that there is a gang of horse thieves, burglars and murderers in Tennessee, who. like the thieves in Gil Blas, live in a cave, from which they issue on their marauding ex cursions The den is situated four miles east of Thompson’s Ferry, on the Redport Lak--, Obion county. Their loader, Hoffman, who lias just been sentenced to fi/leen years in the penitentiary for horse stealing, has made a full confession. Among other crimes of the band, the mysterious murder of MiHer, committed within the closed doors of the Union B anch Bank at Jackson, Tonnes-co, while he was cashier, stands promin-nt. Four Governors in Four Months.—lt is a singular fact that Indiana has had four Gover nors since the first of October. Governor Wil lard died on the 31 of that month, when L en tonant Governor Hammond became Governor lie served till Ja uary 14, when Governor Lane was inaugurated. Governor La ie served two days when he was elected to the United 1 States Senate and was superseded by Lientei nant Governor Morton. Four Governors in less than four months. No. 12. Damage to the Mate Read. i We are informed on good authority that th® damage to the State Road by tho late freshet amounts to only thirty-five hundred dollars* This is greatly lesa than at first it was sup posed to be. — • non i m " ■■ Southern Congress. Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 15.—The Conven tion nu t ar. 11 o’clock. A < oiiim tt<-i of six was appointed to make 1 suitable arrangements for the reception and inauguration of President Davis, which is ap pointed to take place on Monday next, at 1 ' o’clock, P. M. The Chair stated that he had received a ci mm imitation in relation to the purchase of vessels for the Prov sional Government Tho communication was appropriately referred. Mr. Fearn, of Alabama, presented a letter ’ about a new projectile which has been approv ed by scientific and military men. The letter was appropriately referred. An fficial copy of the ordinance of seces sion was presented With the credentials of the deputies from that State to Congress, only one of whom had arrived. Some objection was made to receiving him, on the ground that the- Texas ordinance of secession had not yet been, ratified. The delegate pres- nt, Mr Gregg, was however invited to a seat in the Convention,, and the papers appropriately referred. Two models of flags were presented, and appropriately referred. The Congress then went into secret session, during which an act and a resolution were passed, from which secresy was removed. The act continues in office all officers con nected with the collection of customs at the time of the adoption of the Constitution of tho Confederate States, with the same salaries and powers as heretofore, provided that their com pensation does not exceed $5 000. Collectors arc required, within two weeks, to execute the same bonds as heretofore, and subordinates to g ve bonds one week after the Collectors.
